Little details that matter

*The 0.50% rate bonus on the annual rate is in effect from April 1 to July 2, 2024 inclusively (the “promotion period”).

It applies from the first dollar invested and up to a maximum of $1,999,999.99.

**The regular interest rate will apply to newly invested amounts exceeding $1,999,999.99.

¹ Annual interest rate calculated daily. Rates are subject to change without notice.

³ The rate bonus depends on the account's minimum balance for the month. The bonus is calculated using the number of days in the month and the balance tiers and rates presented in the above table.
